"Brass Tacks is as accomplished and as spirited an album as the band has ever made,” says the Los Angeles Daily News. "Brass Tacks contains the fun, zest, humor and flat-out rock that has defined the band since their birth decades ago,” says Rolling Stone in their online review, and, adds Magnet, “…hats off to the NRBQ dynasty.”

The one and only Q hit the road this summer (“…the band is as tight and passionate as it has ever been. It’s still making music that is as impossibly infectious as ever,” said the Cleveland Scene of a recent show). If you missed them, here’s another chance to see NRBQ live. What to expect besides the unexpected? “Ability to groove like no other band on the planet.” —popmatters. “NRBQ is still liable to play anything. Roaring rockabilly, transcendent pop-rock, roadhouse blues, avant jazz – you name it.” —Minneapolis Tribune. “Honest about inspiration wherever it is found, fearless, searching for possibilities, taking chances.” —Daily Hampshire Gazette. “Inventing music right before our ears.” —Blurt.
